In this particular case, credit score was the reason the company gave for the increase. The only change in the credit history was debt income ratio.

Basing insurance on credit scores across the board has bad consequences. A husband dies. His former income is no longer attached to the wife's score. Her score drops. Her house insurance increases. This from a company that they had been paying for a couple decades.

I am not a candidate for this position. Do you envision a volunteer or paid mentor?

No trench needed. However, from my understanding, a good amount of soil layered with the wood is needed for it to work as a growing bed anytime soon. Of course, if you have a couple years to let the leaves, sticks and stuff break down into soil, cool!

I think the a frame level is a better way to find your contour. My project was much smaller, but I was able to mark the contour by myself. Here is an article about the a frame level.

I've been wanting these here for a few years. I've never been able to get them to take. This thread inspired me to order some seeds. Alot of seeds. Seeing when my sweet violets were drying their seeds, I sowed some, and they were kept wedded and watered. I still have no plants. Maybe it was already too hot?

I still have an ounce of seed left. Because I expected failures, and I want these!!!

What are your recommendations for getting them started?

I've gotten difficult stains out with hydrogen peroxide. Let it sit till it stops bubbling, then work some more. I have not tried it on rayon though.try a test patch first.
